Natural events following the activity of the Tropical Cyclone Seroja in April 2021 are investigated. During its active phase, Tropical Cyclone Seroja generated extreme rainfall events in some sub-provinces of East Nusa Tenggara (NTT): Ngada, Alor, Belu, Rote Ndao on 4 April, 2021, Kupang on 4 to 5 April, 2021, East Sumba on 4 to 6 April, 2021. Moreover, these extreme rainfall events triggered flood in Alor, East Flores, Lembata, The City of Kupang, Kupang, East Sumba, Malaka, Belu, and North Central Timor. The maximum sea wave height of the Indian Ocean at the Southern part of NTT was also increasing, from 4 meters on 1 to 2 April, 2021 up to 6 meters on 3 April, 2021, and rose to higher than 7 meters on 4 to 6 April, 2021. On 7 to 9 April, 2021, the sea wave height declined as the Tropical Cyclone Seroja moved to the Southwest of NTT.
