Report: Iowa is in middle of pack in prepping for impacts of climate change
Report says severe flooding may be symptom of climate change.
Iowa has moderate vulnerability to the health impacts of climate change, according to a study from a non-profit, non-partisan health policy, research and advocacy group.
Matt McKillop, senior researcher at Trust for America’s Health, says the report found many states are woefully unprepared to protect their residents.
“Iowa is in the middle of the pack,” McKillop says, “both from the standpoint of its level of vulnerability and the extent to which it is prepared for the public health impacts of climate change.”
