National Guard joins search for 5-year-old swept away by floodwaters in California

LOS ANGELES — Nearly 120 members of the California National Guard have joined the search for Kyle Doan, the missing 5-year-old boy who was swept away by floodwaters near San Miguel in San Luis Obispo County during this week's storms.

More than 200 personnel have already been deployed in the search for Kyle. The sheriff's office has been working with search and dive teams from Santa Barbara, Ventura, Sacramento, Santa Clara and Kern counties, officials said. Cal Fire, California Highway Patrol, Grove Beach Police Department and the California Office of Emergency Services have also assisted with the search.

Sheriff's officials have resumed their search every morning since Monday, when Kyle first went missing. The search was temporarily suspended Monday afternoon after weather conditions during the storms made it unsafe for first responders, according to the San Luis Obispo County sheriff's office.
