How many layers do you expect your program to have? (And if the answer is 'a whole lot' then maybe your design needs to be reconsidered.)
Dealing with the exception at the lowest level that can deal with it is usually a good idea. Also dealing with the exception at the top level, so that when bad things happen (i.e. the low level that was supposed to catch it had a bug and didn't) your program doesn't terminate, but bravely tries to do the best it can -- this often a good idea. Copy and pasting the same wretched error handling code into every layer of your program is pretty much never a good idea.
