How do you treat gap-ups and gap-downs in your process?

I mainly treat gaps as support or resistance. If a stock is in a downtrend, below the EMAs and anchored VWAP (AVWAP), and a gap down forms, I look for a short on a bounce back into that gap. The gap can act as resistance, especially when the EMAs confirm that the chart is weak. Conversely, if a stock is above its EMAs and in an uptrend, a gap can become support during a pullback long.
