ML Drawings User Resources for Emergency Plans

ML Drawings

Use these ML Drawings free resources to develop Emergency Response building floor plans and campus maps that meet all 2024 NYSED data requirements. While ML Drawings can be used to develop floor plans with the appropriate asset locations, separate PDF editing software (e.g., Adobe Acrobat®) is also needed for both floor plans and area maps.
