In this article, I argue that WPAs must proactively engage in a crisis management process to create crisis-ready writing programs. Crises disrupt the typical writing program work, so WPAs must be prepared to collaborate with existing campus-crisis response plans and develop their own programmatic crisis management plans. Drawing on my experience as a WPA after an off-campus mass shooting and a global pandemic, I present a process that WPAs can use to prevent, prepare for, respond to, and recover from crisis events. This crisis management process will help WPAs create writing programs that are more attentive to writing program stakeholders' changing educational and socio-emotional needs after a crisis so that the work of teaching and learning about writing can resume as quickly and safely as possible.
