These tissues with social memories and the ways of thinking and living of our ancestors have become very unsustainable and vulnerable in face with natural disasters such as earthquake. Hence, it is necessary to pay serious attention in order to identify some opportunities and threats of crisis management with these tissues. This study was done to investigate some opportunities and threats of crisis management inYazd's historical tissues by using SWOT model towards finding some strategies for managing the crisis in optimal and effective ways. The results indicated that there are many valuable and unique historical and cultural monument and ancient inYazdsuch as Eskandar jail, Jamea mosque and thus, it should be paid serious attention to the problem of crisis management inYazd's historical tissues. According to the results of this study, being irresponsible with this dilemma not only will cause  damages to the  monument and historical buildings, but also it is dangerous for tissues' residents, particularly by occurrence of the natural crises like earthquake.  Although these tissues are very vulnerable during the crisis, they have some capacities which can be recruited in the process of crisis management and reducing the damages and indemnities
