Iowa scored a seven out of 10 in a new report that rated states on public health emergency preparedness.

The report found that the H1N1 flu outbreak has exposed serious underlying gaps in the nation's ability to respond to public health emergencies and the economic crisis is straining an already fragile public health system.
