Iowa bird flu outbreak prompts governor to declare state of emergency | 01 May 2015 | Iowa governor Terry Branstad declared a state of emergency on Friday due to a rapidly expanding avian flu outbreak, soon after state agriculture officials announced four new poultry farms had initially tested positive for the virus.

Minnesota and Wisconsin declared states of emergency in April.
