I dont think that will be an issue in your lifetime, unless you are in an area prone to storm surge. In which case your elevation is ALREADY a problem.
> "Thwaites is really holding on today by its fingernails, and we should expect to see big changes over small timescales in the future -- even from one year to the next -- once the glacier retreats beyond a shallow ridge in its bed," Robert Larter, a marine geophysicist and one of the study's co-authors from the British Antarctic Survey, said in the release.
The actual number is 25 inches, and most consensus suggests collapse over centuries.
There is some concern that a bracing portion of the glacier may collapse soon, which would take Thwaites from 4 to 6% of contribution to sea level rise.

Thwaites gone would constitute a sea level rise of 10 feet, iirc.
