Minneapolis Public Health Warning: Airborne Toxic Event

Airborne Toxic Event flyer in Minneapolis
Airborne Toxic Event flyer in Minneapolis.

These "Public Health Warning: Airborne Toxic Event" flyers were posted in Minneapolis, likely in response to the demolition of the Roof Depot building. The flyers instruct residents to call a phone number for information on how to plan and protect themselves, stating that the city is set to begin mitigation of an airborne toxic event. The message lists several neighborhoods at risk, including Phillips, Powderhorn, Central, Corcoran, Longfellow, and Seward. This event occurred during the Minneapolis Uprising, a period of significant civil unrest following the murder of George Floyd.
