Шаблон:Infobox settlement Bhugra Memon is a small town in Badin District of Sindh, Pakistan, located a few kilometres from the coast.[1] It is the seat of a Union Council, with a total population of 42,592.[2] The southern part of the Union Council is very flood-prone, lying only a few inches above sea level, and the twice-daily high tides can cause problems for local residents.[3] The area is heavily beset by poverty.[1]

Bhugra Memon was at the centre of Cyclone 02A when it hit the coast of Sindh in 1999, killing over 400 people and causing widespread destruction and displacement.[4] Rising sea levels and disrupted weather patterns due to climate change increasingly cause problems in Bhugra Memon, as does increasing soil salinity.[4] During the monsoon season, overflow of the Left Bank Outflow Drainage, carrying wastewater from five districts, is especially destructive.[4] A particularly bad case of this happened in 2003.[4]
