Brojni i raznovrsni događaji koji uzrokuju štetne posledice, važnost odgovora o njihovoj prirodi, uzrocima, akterima i nizu drugih pitanja značajnih za njihovo rasvetljavanje, i veliki informativni potencijal mesta događanja, nalažu preduzimanje brojnih aktivnosti na toj lokaciji. Uz mere, kao što su pružanje pomoći povređenim licima, sprečavanje daljeg štetnog dejstva uzročnika događaja, saniranje posledica i sl., značajno mesto u postupanju na mestu događaja ima i kriminalističko postupanje, to jest kriminalistička obrada mesta događaja. Složenost postupanja, uz brojne specifičnosti naročito dolazi do izražaja u uslovima velikih akcidenata - vanrednih situacija. U ovom radu pažnja će biti posvećena onim okolnostima koje su zajedničke najvećem broju događaja koje prate masovna razaranja i opasnost po život i zdravlje većeg broja ljudi, a koje se moraju uvažavati i prilikom kriminalističke obrade mesta na kom se tragični događaj desio, kao i najznačajnijim osobenostima u postupanju povodom događaje ove vrste.
