Actually if you want a possible intact launch site how about Wallops Island in VA? dont have my HW with me right now but dont remember that getting hit
They launch small rockets and payloads out of there all the time - and with Kennedy down for the count it would make for possibly the only intact facilty the US has left
as for assembling and launching rockets - that would really depend on what could be used from storage facilities and how much is left of NASA and Rockwell's engineers - there are always some rocket engines and rockets in storage - and while I dont see you making geosynchronous orbit with a cobbled together rocket I could see a low orbit satellite being possible
plus if any of the boomers survived - and given a Russian one did then surely at least one or two US ones did - you could use any unused Tridents for launching satellites - and you can make a relatively unsophisticated satellite that still offers useful info - again all depends what you have access to and who you have access to
