Notify her teacher.
A concentrated NaOH spill is a serious hazard (caustic). Emily should immediately alert the teacher/supervisor and others in the area so trained personnel can direct the response. Only follow their instructions; they may consult the SDS/MSDS, put on proper PPE, isolate the area, and arrange appropriate cleanup or neutralization. If anyone has skin/eye contact, flush with plenty of water and seek medical attention immediately.
