Buy her some Kotex pads, or if she knows how to use tampons, those are easier and less messy. Give her a heating pad for her stomach and let her lie down and rest if she feels like it. If she is experiencing cramps, you should probably give her some aspirin or Motrin for the pain - there are medications like Midol specifically made for cramping, but they're often no different than other over-the-counter pain relievers. Ask her if she understands about her period and if she has questions you and her can talk about them and look up the answers online. Give her some hot tea if she's not feeling well.
And remember - if she is very emotional and it goes away and less than a month later it occurs again, welcome to hormonal mood-swings! Just let it go. Many females experience it because there are chemical changes in the brain; I know I did (and still do at 32). Count your blessings on the days in between. =)

I know that my local Planned Parenthood had a video library that you could "check out videos" about those things- I got one for my daughter, and even though I had talked to her about this, she found the video helpful as she could watch in her room alone, which made her feel better.
You might also find this at the local library.
If you have an woman you know that knows your daughter (aunt, grandmother, good friend) offer them up if she has any questions.

So take her to the library get a book on female menses then go to the store and get some femine pads. If she has an aunt you might ask the aunt to take this part of her upbringing over,

I agree that it is most likely going to be more comfortable for the both of you if you can get a female family member or friend to explain to her what's happening.
If that's not possible, approach it gently and ask if she has any questions for you, and to not feel embarrassed, that it's a normal thing that all girls go through.
Show her this website: http://www.kotex.com/na/info/period/help.asp if she feels like she wants to learn about it on her own without your help.

This subject is best left to a woman to talk to her about. Your sister, mother, or any adult female she is close with. This is a very personal and sensitive subject for a young lady, and having her dad talk to her about it would probably be very uncomfortable.

Does she have an older sister, or an aunt, or a grandmother who could tell her what to do and calm her down.
