Ways to tell them apart:

Briefing involves providing information before an event or task, while debriefing is discussing it afterward.
Remember that briefing comes from brief, suggesting a summary provided beforehand, whereas debriefing is like unwinding or analyzing what happened.
Think of de in debriefing as after – it happens after the fact.
