Abstract: An information providing device and an information providing method are provided. Processing circuitry receives, from a first vehicle, a piece of video data related to the moment the first vehicle passed an occurrence site. The first vehicle captures a piece of video data by a dashboard camera when passing the occurrence site of a traffic event requiring cautious driving. The processing circuitry extracts a piece of image data representing a situation of the occurrence site from the video related to the piece of video data, and transmits the piece of image data to the second vehicle. When the second vehicle reaches a notification location, a display device of the second vehicle displays an image related to the piece of image data in order to issue an alert.
