JAKARTA, KOMPAS -- Tropical cyclone Seroja is moving away from the mainland of East Nusa Tenggara, but the weather in Indonesia is still volatile due to the presence of two cyclone seeds above the Indian Ocean. Learning from the Seroja cyclone, Indonesia must strengthen its tropical cyclone early warning system and integrate it with community responses.

Data from the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) on Thursday evening (8/4/2021) show 163 people died and 45 people are missing as a result of the disaster in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). NTT Governor Viktor Bungtilu Laiskodat declared an emergency status in the province from 6 April to 5 May 2021. The emergency status related to tropical cyclones, floods, landslides and tidal waves in the province was based on the impact of the tropical cyclone Seroja in Kupang municipality and 21 regencies in NTT from 2 to 5 April 2021.
