FREE! TEXT-delivered (National & State) Half-Staff Alerts: Sign-up!
(scroll down a little)

The Flag Steward app CANNOT deliver state-targeted half-staff alert notifications, so we're offering STATE-TARGETED HALF-STAFF ALERTS via TEXT.

The easiest and most efficient way to sign-up is to TEXT your STATE / TERRITORY KEYWORD (as ONE WORD = with no spaces or dashes) from the list of KEYWORDS below to:
66599
[ Note: If done correctly, you'll get an automated text response welcoming you to Flag Steward's Half-Staff alert service.  If you don't get a reply, then you either typed in the text # or text keyword incorrectly. ]

After signing up for Flag Steward's FREE half-staff text alerts, check out our innovative, members-only Back-to-Full-Staff alerts service, linked at the bottom of this page, that supports our FREE half-staff text alerts.

Upon sending your State / Territory KEYWORD (like "NChalfstaff" to "66599"), you will be registered for USA and your state's half-staff alerts. 
​If you want to register for multiple state half-staff alerts, send a separate text with each state's keyword.

[Note: If this new, FREE half-staff alert texting system becomes very popular, then we may need to ask its users to make a donation to support its distribution and maintenance in the future.]
