In this study we develop a multi-criteria model to identify dengue outbreak periods. To validate the model, we perform simulation using dengue transmission related data in the Western Province, Sri Lanka. Our results indicate that the developed model can be used to predict the dengue outbreak situation in a given region upto one month.
