after Hurricane Sandy bared down on New York, killing over 150 people and wreaking $65 billion in damage, federal leaders cried for help to make the Northeast more flood-proof. Flooding from a hurricane and flooding due to "rising" seawater levels are two different things. Flooding that occurs from a hurricane comes from the "storm surge," which is water "lifted up" by the concentrated winds and path of the hurricane.
If sea levels truly rose, sure, storm surges from hurricanes would become more prominent, but I doubt the levels are rising enough to be of any more significance. Storm surges like the one associated with Sandy are not rare though, they've always come with any sizeable storm.

Are there NO editors today? No proof readers?
Bared down?
Are there no other seaports at risk?
How is that?
