🌀 Hurricane Season

Hurricane Preparedness at a Glance

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.

Do This Today — Emergency Contacts

1. Sign up for Alert Pembroke Pines — text ALERTPP to 888777. 2. Save PP Police non-emergency (954-431-2200) in your phone. 3. 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.

⚠️

Flood Insurance — Don't Wait

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.
