Emergency info for guests in Brazil (rental template)

Brazil uses separate numbers: 190 for the military police, 192 for SAMU ambulances and 193 for the fire service, which also handles rescues and drownings. 199 reaches Defesa Civil for floods and landslides. Most homes cook with bottled gas, so the steps cover the cylinder.

We checked these numbers in November 2026, but services change, so please confirm them locally before you print or share the page.

In heavy rain, stay away from hillsides and flooded streets, and follow Defesa Civil alerts.

Tips

Add the condomínio name, building and apartment number, and the porter's phone number.
Check if your city has a tourist police (Deatur) office and fill in its number.
Show where the gas cylinder valve is, since bottled gas is common.
Name a private hospital with a pronto-socorro and say whether it takes travel insurance.
