From Wikipedia:


Temporary protected status (also called "TPS") is a temporary immigration status to the United States, granted to eligible nationals of designated countries.


In 1990, as part of the Immigration Act of 1990 ("IMMACT"), P.L. 101-649, Congress established a procedure by which the Attorney General may provide TPS to immigrants in the United States who are temporarily unable to safely return to their home country because of ongoing armed conflict, an environmental disaster, or other extraordinary and temporary conditions.

Seems like its a bit more than that...

In a letter dated Nov. 21, the senators also asked the DHS to suspend deportations of Filipinos and expedite visa processing for those whose family members are either US citizens or permanent residents and those with approved or pending family petitions, “especially Filipinos who have been orphaned, lost relatives in the storm or suffered other serious hardships.”
