a check valve isn't going to do anything on a drain, as water can't flow up anyway. I try to avoid relying on check valves if at all possible anyway.
If you have an overflow box, not a whole lot of water can come out of the drain once you turn off your return pump. I'm not exactly sure what type of emergency you are preparing for.
