Texas panel backs backup power and stronger codes after Ike

It also calls for stronger building codes, an expanded sales tax holiday for survival items, and a $250 million boost to the Disaster Contingency Fund. The recommendations aim to improve emergency prep, housing recovery, power reliability, and overall state response to future storms.
