State Wide 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.
(As above) “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.”
McKillop says climate change is not something looming in the distant future it’s already here and is a current threat to the health of people in all 50 states. While Iowa is less vulnerable than many other places, he says there are still concerns here.

Indiana is expected to face more severe storms, flooding, extreme heat, and tick-borne diseases in the future. But a new report said the state hasn’t done enough to prepare.
The report said states like Indiana need to put more funding toward public health, coordinate with federal and local governments, dedicate staff to preparing and responding to climate impacts specifically, and incorporate equity into their preparedness plans.
Matt McKillop is a senior researcher at Trust for America s Health and co-authored the report. He said states also need to work with communities to make sure those plans meet everyone’s needs.
