Abstract
Systems and processes for controlling a autonomous vehicle when the autonomous vehicle detects a disaster may include receiving a sensor signal from a sensor of a autonomous vehicle and determining that the sensor signal corresponds to a disaster definition accessible to the autonomous vehicle. The systems and processes may further include receiving a corroboration of the detected disaster and altering a drive mode of the autonomous vehicle or receiving an indication that the detected disaster was a false positive and returning to a nominal drive mode of the autonomous vehicle.
