I believe the answer is:

stopgaps

(Other definitions for stopgaps that I've seen before include "Temporary substitutes, like fingers in dykes" , "Temporary or impromptu substitutes" , "Temporary or emergency substitutes" , "Temporary substitutes to plug openings?" , "Temporary substitutes or expedients" .)

I've seen this clue in the Newsday and The New York Times.
