Texas Forestry BMPs
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Texas Forestry BMPs app is based on the Texas Forestry Best Management Practices Handbook (May 2014), the state manual for protecting water quality during forest operations. These guidelines are a part of the Texas Nonpoint Source Management Program administered by the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board. This convenient, native app is a quick reference guide that covers all forest activities, including the actual BMP guidelines, recommended specifications, schematics, tables, and a glossary. In addition, five tools for use in the field are provided—Soils Identifier Tool, Slope Tool, Tree Height Tool, Texas Culvert Size, and BMP Pictorial Directory.
EMS Protocol Reference

EMS Protocol Guide helps you find the right statewide EMS protocol fast. Pick your state or region, your certification level (including Critical Care where the manual defines it), enter a short chief complaint or scenario, and get a structured summary with suggested protocols and links into the official protocol PDF—including medication appendix jumps scoped to your level when the hosted index supports it. What you get Official protocols — Opens the authority’s published manual; summaries are for reference only—always confirm in the PDF and follow medical direction. Multi-state support — Subscriptions can cover one state or multiple regions, depending on your plan. AI assistance — Uses on-device intelligence when available, or cloud when needed; scenario text may be processed by a third-party model. Do not include patient identifiers. History — Revisit recent summaries (where enabled for your account). Important This app is not affiliated with state protocol authorities unless stated. It is not medical advice and is not a HIPAA-compliant medical record tool. See our Privacy Policy at respondersai.com for how cloud features handle data. Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition or medications. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay seeking it because of something you have read or used in this app. This app is for reference and informational purposes only and should not be used to diagnose.
