Key emergency management and public safety contacts every Pembroke Pines resident should have saved.
The City of Pembroke Pines Emergency Management division coordinates disaster preparedness, response, and recovery. Check your evacuation zone, find emergency shelter locations, sign up for Alert Pembroke Pines emergency notifications, and access the city's comprehensive hurricane and disaster preparedness guide.
For non-emergency police matters (noise complaints, report a non-injury accident, suspicious activity), call PP Police at (954) 431-2200. PP Fire Rescue handles medical emergencies, fires, and technical rescues. Both departments participate in community disaster response and offer safety education programs.
🌀 Hurricane Season
Living in South Florida means planning for hurricane season. Pembroke Pines is inland from the coast, which reduces storm surge risk but doesn\'t eliminate wind, flooding, and power outage hazards.
For detailed guidance — supply checklists, evacuation planning, shelter maps, generator safety, post-storm recovery, and protecting your home — read our complete guide.

Review your evacuation zone on ppines.com. 4. Register with the Broward County Special Needs Registry if anyone in your household requires electricity for medical equipment, transportation assistance, or has a medical condition requiring assistance during an evacuation.
Standard homeowners and renters insurance does NOT cover flood damage. Flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) has a 30-day waiting period before coverage takes effect — this means you can't buy it when a storm is approaching. If you're in or near a flood zone, buy flood insurance now, not during hurricane season.
