The nation's ability to respond to a wide range of deadly emergencies, from salmonella-tainted melons to weather events like Superstorm Sandy to bioterrorism, is losing ground after years of progress, says a report out Wednesday.

In a study of the 50 states and the District of Columbia, researchers found only five states met eight of 10 measures used to evaluate public health preparedness. Among the measures they examined: Do states have plans to evacuate children from schools during emergencies? Have they met vaccination requirements? Can they staff labs for prolonged disease outbreaks? How has funding changed?

Thirty-five states and Washington, D.C., scored six or lower in the 10th annual report by the Trust for America's Health, with the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The measures come from publicly available sources including the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Center for Climate Control and Energy Solutions and Save the Children.
