I hereby authorize flags be flown at half-staff effective immediately on the grounds of the Alabama State Capitol Complex in Montgomery and throughout the state of Alabama until sunrise Monday, July 14, 2025, in honor of those who lost their lives, including those from Alabama, in the recent deadly Texas Hill Country flooding.

Today, Governor Greg Abbott ordered flags be lowered to half-staff in the state of Texas until sunrise July 14, 2025, “…to honor those who lost their lives due to the devasting floods that impacted Texas over the July 4th weekend.” More than one hundred have perished, including young Sarah Marsh of Mountain Brook, and many more are still missing, including members of the Santana family from Mobile.

In solidarity with the state of Texas, the flags on the grounds of the State Capitol Complex in Montgomery and throughout the state of Alabama may be flown at half-staff from today until sunrise Monday, July 14, 2025, in honor of those who lost their lives in the floods in the Texas Hill Country.
