Sorry DT, ATIS as well. We usually have the ATIS by then and start the brief with the current ATIS letter. As for emergencies - why? How many emergencies can you brief? If you get one, surely the response is implicit in your training.
A few years ago when we used to operate from the same building with four USAF crews doing the same job; we briefed with them and 'walked' for the sortie at the same time. We used to sit and listen to them brief every emergency they could possibly get for over half an hour, the Captain 'blahing' on for hours while the rest of the crew started to nod off. We waited for them to finish before starting our brief which was nearly always "Same as yesterday - any Questions?" because it nearly always was.
If you think back to any emergencies you have had, how many could you have prepared yourself for? Of the five biggish ones I have had, only one had a suitable course of action laid down in the checklists.
Certainly be aware that emergencies can happen and be menatlly prepared for them, but beware of breifing in too much detail. From my experience that can lead to the wrong course of action as you try and make the situation fit the brief.
The one place a breifing is relevant is prior to take off - but in our fleet, that can be shortened to "SOP".
