Teaneck's Office of Emergency Management is looking for volunteers to help officials setup the Rodda Center as a "temporary transition facility" during emergencies.
The center will be used as a warming and cooling center, and facility to meet the needs of township residents impacted by emergency incidents, according to a township press release.
Food and lodging are not currently planned at the Rodda Center, the release said.
