West Palm Beach's drinking water begins at the headwaters of the Grassy Waters Preserve. This is a surface water system that is fed by rainwater. If the City experiences a prolonged severe drought, this could result in water shortages not typically seen in the area.

This would decrease the use of general automobile traffic and would greatly reduce transportation emissions. Moreover, the City is planning to increase its green infrastructure with "living shorelines" for littoral zones and increased tree canopy coverage to reduce heat island effects and increase walkability.

The City developed a public-facing website that displays the City's key performance indicators, organized in the STAR community rating framework categories, as graphical representations. The data is updated every quarter to reflect transparent progress or lack thereof towards main City objectives. Additionally, the City plans to roll out a public engagement program to get people involved in how to prepare for climate change events, based on the recent Fernleaf/NEMAC vulnerability assessment. This way, the community will have a greater understanding of the City is doing to protect them if they are particularly vulnerable according to the report.

The counties of Broward and Miami Dade are more prone to sea level rise, and as such, citizens of those counties may migrate to West Palm Beach because of it's higher elevation. The added strain from a greater population could exacerbate water demand as well as other natural resources.

Tropical systems can drop a lot of rain in a very short amount of time, causing localized flooding which was determined to be the greatest risk to the City. In the pre-implementation stage, the City has formulated a game plan to prioritize capital improvement projects (CIPs) based on vulnerable areas identified in the assessment. The City will also coordinate with Northern Palm Beach County (another water utility) for stormwater solutions in the low-lying western communities, develop Adaptation Action Areas to do detailed resilience projects, develop policies to increase capacity beyond a 3-year event, and bolster emergency response for points of access solutions.
