Well... all seriousness aside...
I'd be more than happy to offer my house for any Japanese female refugees, in case Fuji goes.
I take female porn stars only though

Pole-shifts would not affect magma flow. Pole shift, at best, would give us a few days/weeks with no "solid" protection from the sun's energy.

pole shifts are devastation at the extreme
they have happened in the past wiping the slate clean, very clean
during a pole shift the oceans try and stay where they are = waves miles high at thousand miles an hr
think about how water behaves

No.
Magnetic pole shifting, a proven fact, has nothing to do with the movement of magma. Geological pole shifts, not proven, WOULD affect magma/etc.
Magnetic pole shifts are when the field inverts itself. Magnetic fields are not "stuck" to the physical alignment of a planet or any object. For example. I can take a magnet in real life and change the fields without moving the objects.
The core of the earth, the solid, moon sized iron core that is hotter than the surface of the sun? That is solid and mostly iron. Spinning rapidly. The outer-core is liquid metal. Also spinning rapidly and with convection.
It is the convection and movement in the outer-core that creates the magnetic fields (or so theorized...as we don't know for sure.)
Then we have the mantle, where magma is. Magma is not the outcore and magma does not make magnetic fields we depend on. Density of it -can- affect magnetic and gravetic fields... but it is not dependent on the actual magnetic field from the outer core.
The switching of magnetic poles has nothing to do with the actual location of any part of the Earths' interior. You can swap and move poles all you want without actually moving the planet's insides. Even more-so, a magnetic switch is near instant... worse case scenario we get higher UVs for a few days.
