Local authorities in Los Cabos have initiated several programs focused on community welfare and environmental protection. Initial efforts included the distribution of water tanks to families in Cabo San Lucas to improve domestic water storage, alongside the deployment of drones to monitor rural areas for illegal waste dumping.

Subsequent actions expanded to maritime and transport management. Authorities, in coordination with the Mexican Navy, began efforts to remove stranded vessels from local bays to prevent fuel spills and environmental damage. Additionally, the municipality conducted an emergency sea rescue near El Arco and launched a socioeconomic study to evaluate potential public transit fare increases.
