Extreme weather began on Saturday, 3 April 2021 around 8 am and reached a peak of intensity that lasted several hours from about 1 am until 8 am on Monday, 5 April 2021. Rain accompanied by heavy winds caused flooding, landslides, big waves, and thousands of trees falling down throughout East Nusa Tenggara.
Thousands fled their homes; hundreds disappeared or died. Buildings, roads and bridges, and electricity and Internet networks were damaged or destroyed. Public services in many places have been curtailed or have totally broken down. A shortage of basic items such as zinc, fuel, and food stuffs has led to price gouging in some instances. In Kupang City, there is no more stock of generators. The complexity of losses resulting from the Seroja Cyclone has caused widespread social trauma.

In Kupang City, electricity and Internet are working again in several neighborhoods.
Emergency aid from places within and outside East Nusa Tenggara has begun to be distributed in places that were hit the hardest, like Sabu. Some people are still staying at several emergency response posts that have been set up in churches because their houses haven’t been repaired yet. A government helicopter and an Indonesian Navy ship are available to go to areas currently difficult to reach either due to landslides or high waves. It is important to note that the national government’s attention has focused on areas of Flores such as Adonara Island and other areas of Lembata Regency. Much attention from all parties is also needed for isolated areas such as Pantar Island (Alor); Nuse, Dana, dan Ndau Islands (Rote); Raijua Island (Sabu), dan remote villages in Kupang Regency such as Tetebudale in West Amarasi and villages in Amfoang.
Distribusi bantuan: Rp. 120 juta ke Alor; Rp. 20 juta ke masing-masing klasis: Kota Kupang, Kota Kupang Timur, dan Sulamu; bahan bantuan dibawa ke Klasis Kupang Barat, Amarasi Barat, dan Amanuban Selatan. Hari ini, 5 relawan berangkat ke Sabu dengan kapal Angkatan Laut mengantar 2 ton beras, 100 terpal, dan bantuan lain.
