<p>Malaysia Airlines focus was on the families of passengers and crew. However, although Malaysia Airlines was supportive it was beyond their capability. </p>
<p>The Government of Malaysia formed a High Level Team, but even that was overwhelmed by the negative responses in China. The Government Team, led  Hishammuddin Hussein, Minister of Defence and Acting Minister of Transport took over the daily Briefings. </p>
<p>A summary of actions taken by Malaysia Airlines in response to the loss of MH370 is listed below:-</p>
<ul class="ulNormal">
     <li>attempted to contact next of kin before releasing passenger manifest </li>
     <li>engaged a disaster recovery management specialist from Atlanta, USA  </li>
    <li>deployed a team of 94 caregivers consisting of well-trained staff and also Tzu Chi Foundation</li>
     <li>sent a team to Beijing </li>
   <li>established a Family Communication and Support Centre (FCSC) in Beijing and six other provinces in China. These were closed on [[MH370News:2015/Day 417|28 April 2015]].</li>

     <li>set up operations centres in both Kuala Lumpur and Beijing, to care for the families of the crew members and passengers.
