Sounds like Day of the Trifids.  The US has it share of contaminated
buildings and ground (such at ex-Fort Detrick, MD and at Dugway Proving
Ground in Utah).  It is unclassified that anthrax and botulin spores
can survive several hours in boiling water.  I am not aware of exact
level and extent of contamination which is probably need to know.
Several popular films have been based on these incidents: chemical
["Rage," "Binary," "Whiffs," and probably others] biological:
["Warning Sign," "Virus," others].
