## Abstract (arXiv)

The AI-based sensing and autonomous monitoring have become the main components of wildfire early detection, but current systems do not provide adaptive inter-agent coordination, structurally defined human control, and cryptographically verifiable responsibility. Purely autonomous alert dissemination in the context of safety critical disasters poses threats of false alarming, governance failure and lack of trust in the system. This paper provides a blockchain-based governance-conscious agentic AI architecture of trusted wildfire early warning. The monitoring of wildfires is modeled as a constrained partially observable Markov decision process (POMDP) that accounts for the detection latency, false alarms reduction and resource consumption with clear governance constraints. Hierarchical multi-agent coordination means dynamic risk-adaptive reallocation of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). With risk-adaptive policies, a permissioned blockchain layer sets mandatory human-authorization as a state-transition invariant as a smart contract. We build formal assurances such as integrity of alerts, human control, non-repudiation and limited detection latency assumptions of Byzantine fault. Security analysis shows that it is resistant to alert injections, replays, and tampering attacks. High-fidelity simulation environment experimental evaluation of governance enforcement demonstrates that it presents limited operational overhead and decreases false public alerts and maintains adaptive detection performance. This work is a step towards a principled design paradigm of reliable AI systems by incorporating accountability into the agentic control loop of disaster intelligence systems that demand safety in their application.
