During these three days, the National Flag will be hoisted at half-mast in the different State departments throughout the country, such as public buildings, police stations, military installations, bases, ships, etc., as well as in diplomatic and consular missions and permanent representations of Peru abroad.

He also explained that during national mourning other measures are usually applied such as:
Moments of silence. Moments of silence can be organized nationwide to allow citizens to reflect and pay tribute.
Suspension of activities. Some activities and events, such as celebrations and official acts, may be suspended or modified as a sign of respect.
Memorial services. Special ceremonies and services may be held to honor the deceased or to commemorate the tragic event.
