Systems and methods for detecting seismic events

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• receiving, at a vehicle computing system including one or more processors, information indicative of one or more changes in acceleration associated with a plurality of vehicles;
• receiving, at the vehicle computing system, one or more captured images of a vehicle occupant associated with a given vehicle of the plurality of vehicles;
• determining, by the one or more processors, that the one or more changes in acceleration exceed an acceleration threshold;
• accessing, by the vehicle computing system, one or more stored images associated with a seismic event;
• comparing, by the one or more processors, the one or more captured images to the one or more stored images;
• based on the comparison, determining, by the one or more processors, a likelihood that the one or more captured images are associated with an occurrence of a seismic event;
• determining, by the one or more processors, a probability of an occurrence of a seismic event according to (i) the one or more changes in acceleration exceeding the acceleration threshold and (ii) the determined likelihood of the one or more captured images;
• and
• based on the probability exceeding a threshold, providing, by the vehicle computing system, an output signal that includes at least the determined probability and location information associated with the plurality of vehicles.
