1. A driving assistance device comprising:
at least one memory configured to store instructions; and
at least one processor configured to execute the instructions to:
acquire driving status sensing data of a vehicle from a driving status sensing device provided in the vehicle;
acquire a captured image of a face of a driver of the vehicle; and
determine occurrence of a dangerous event on the basis of a first occurrence index value for a dangerous event that is a value corresponding to the driving status sensing data,
wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute the instructions to:
determine that the dangerous event has occurred when the first occurrence index value is equal to or greater than a predetermined first threshold value; and
determine, in a case where the first occurrence index value is smaller than the predetermined first threshold value, that the dangerous event has occurred when a second occurrence index value, which is a value calculated based on a facial condition of the acquired captured image of the driver, is equal to or greater than a predetermined second threshold value.
