The Church helped spread panic and blame for the disease, and royalty was afraid, so they mainly tried to flee from the onset.

There were no "authorities" to respond. There was the king who usually went some place to get away from the area if there was an outbreak. Often court was locked down so people couldn't come and go. As for the rest of the population they had to figure it out on their own.

King Edward III, who ruled England at the time, was powerless to do anything about the progress of the Black Death. He did act on the effects of it, however, by enacting a law called the Ordinance of Laborers, in 1349. This law fixed prices and wages, prohibited lords from enticing other lords' serfs away from them, required everyone under 60 to work, and outlawed collective bargaining.

There is a link below to an article on the Ordinance of Laborers.

There were, of course, many other kings in Europe if that time, and each handled the situation in his own way.

They didn't, everyone was to scared of getting the disease to try to fix it or cure it.
