💙 October is Dysautonomia Awareness Month! 💙

At last night’s Board of Supervisors meeting, the Board adopted Proclamation-Resolution 2026-27, officially proclaiming October as Dysautonomia Awareness Month in Lower Southampton Township.

Dysautonomia is a group of medical conditions that affect the autonomic nervous system, which controls many of the body’s automatic functions, including heart rate, blood pressure, breathing, digestion, and temperature regulation.

Dysautonomia can affect people of any age, gender, race, or background, including members of our own Lower Southampton Township community.

💙 This month, we encourage our residents to learn more, spread awareness, and show support for everyone living with dysautonomia.

Another round of bad weather is heading our way on Friday. ⛈💨🥶

A potent cold front arrives later Friday. Some severe thunderstorms with damaging winds are possible later in the afternoon and evening. The main wind risk with thunderstorms may be in the form of a narrow squall line. It turns much colder Friday night.
