Alternator belt fought its way out

well the other day while cruising down the free way in my '82 GSL my alternator belt decided it was time to shred itself and thrash around inside of the engine bay. The car still ran al the way home where it has remained parked. Now I need to know you guys opinion on whats the best way to get it on. All new belts?

The worse part is that the belt gave no warning, no squealing, nothing. Well, thanks in advance for any advice.

Carefully inspect each belt for cracks, burns or other wear signs, then replace what is necessary.
